Notes: Cinderella illustrated by Rackham was published by Heinemann, London, 1919. A variant of this drawing was published in The Arthur Rackham Fairy Book, 1933 (p.225). The inscription Diana of the Crossways (the title of a novel by George Meredith) presumably does not refer to the drawing, but is a note to himself.
